Spring Cleaning

Okay, I'm happy to say, March has been such a great month for me! February finished a bit off, but I was able to rally back in March. I'm feeling so stable, confident and centered now. It's really remarkable. I don't think I've felt this way in years. I guess the getting up off my ass and doing things is really what I needed.

In March, I:

• Finished all my necessary fundraising. Now everything I get it just frosting!
• Got caught up at work for all of 1 day. ;)
• Saw Alice in Wonderland and went shopping with my Sister-in-Law. Such a great flick!!!!
• Hung out with Domestic Witch for Tea and Shopping!
  
• Hung out with Mom, the Wee One and the Ostara Bunny. ;)
• Helped out a former advisor by interviewing a few Greek Chapters.
  
• Read tarot for people other than friends and family.
  
• Did an Ostara ritual.
• Went to a few birthday parties.
• Went to a baby shower for my cousin-in-law.
  
• Had a blast with LUPEC sisterbroads at our monthly meeting.
• Had a Pure Romance party!
  
• Made brunch for my family.
  
• Held my first Blog giveaway!!!
• Really started training for the walk.
  

So as you can see, March was a rick-rollin good time!!!

Sorry, back to the topic at hand.

April should be more of the same! I can't wait. I've got quite a few things lined up. So stay posted!

Susan G. Komen 3-Day

I did it! I raised the $2300 required to walk! I did it. Whew! Now I can focus on getting all my gear. Shoes, team shirts, sporty fanny pack thing, socks, team jacket, etc.

It feels like a weight has lifted off my shoulders.

Sorry, I've been MIA for the last few days. Not only did a friend of mine donate $100 to me. But I also helped out at a team fundraiser at the Red Wings game on Friday. Our 50/50 raffle raised almost $1000 for our 3 Day Team!

Then on Saturday I had a Pure Romance party and my lovely PR Rep. not only gave me the standard 10% of free product and a gift, but she also gave me 10% of the total show earnings in a donation to the walk! Which put me over my total!!

Yay! Just think, I was so worried, I'd end up having to pay all $2300 out of pocket. And now, I'm finished and I haven't even been fundraising for 3 full months yet. Weird!

I'd love to thank everyone who helped by donating time & money. Big shout-out to my step-bro for hosting a Poker Tournament for me. As well as the Hubs for putting up with all the time I've put into this so far.

Now I just have to keep walking!!!! So if anyone wants to help me out in that regard. Let me know if you want to walk!!!!

New Month, new beginings.

It's March. February is finally over! Thank goodness. Last week was a rough one. And luckily, everyone I know is doing much better.

This week promises to not only be warmer, but should be a lot lighter in feel.

As for updates, my poker tournament went really well! I surprised myself and placed 5th out of 18. I didn't win any money, but we did raise $350 for the 3-Day walk! Whoohoo!!!!! I'm just slashing that $2300 to pieces bit by bit!

I've got a tarot reading booth at an expo on the 21st, selling 50/50 tickets at a hockey game on the 26th and emails to send out. I'm hoping that by the end of March, I'll have finished all my fundraising and can really focus on my training. Which I'll hopefully get to start on, again, this week.

It's supposed to get into the 40's this week! I can't wait, everything needs to thaw out/melt/warm up/sprout!!! And this year, I have a major reason to get out an enjoy the spring! If I don't train and callous up my feet, I will be in pain later.

I don't like pain.

I try to avoid it when possible.

So this spring, it's out and about with the wee one and the dog. Though preferably not together (unless the Hubs is out with me).

What're your plans for March?

Poker Tournament

Today, my lovely brother is hosting a Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament for me. This is to raise money for the Susan G. Komen 3 Day walk.

I'm pretty descent at it, but any additional good poker vibest will help immensely!!!

Superbowl Madness

Do you watch the superbowl? Are you a football or commercial junkie?

Usually, I just watch for the commercials. Give up halfway through and go to bed while the rest records. Then I fast forward through the game and watch the commercials.

Not this year. I am going to "try" to watch the whole thing. I'll need a vat of coffee on Monday morning, but I am bound and determined to do this.

Why you ask? I am in charge of a Superbowl Square grid. I have worked hard to sell almost all the squares. (Any unsold squares are "3-day" squares and any winnings go towards my walk.) In fact, I think this fundraiser has been one of the best and somewhat easiest fundraisers ever!!! Plus, the only way I can really get into the game is if I have money riding on it.

So what are your superbowl plans?

****Edit: I just sold the last 10 squares! Boo ya!****
